Honestly, I don't know where to start....
1. Losing to anonymous eplayer - "This is not looking good, but this guy is not very fast," Botez said. "He's not good or fast, so hopefully we're going to win this game.".........Alexandra Botez, 24, is good and fast. She holds the title of Woman FIDE Master, was the first female president of the Stanford University Chess Club. "Let's hope we can flag this guy," she said, meaning her opponent would run out of time. He didn't, and she ended up checkmated.
2. Has a mistake named after her - Botez is particularly known in the chess world for the Botez Gambit. While many players have particular strategies (often called gambits) associated with their names, Botez's is unique. The Botez Gambit is now chess shorthand for accidentally losing one's queen, an often fatal error in a chess game.
3. OF FUCKING COURSE....STILL manages to live off donations to her - Alexandra Botez has more than 60,000 followers on Twitch.
